Since this is set in Orr, I'm assuming it'll be another time jump, as it looks quite different!
I wonder what their plans are for GW2 to make sure certain content remains accessible with a dwindling population. Fingers crossed for some kind of heroes system like in GW1!
They say in the website that it takes place over 1000 years before gw1. I was looking over the known timeline a little, and I can't help but notice that about that long ago is when the god war happens, the one which banished abaddon.
Also worth noting that it looks like abaddon is one if the six gods shown (also potentially dhuum instead of grenth?). If that second one is true it would put us a few decades before the god war happens, which sounds plausible?
Rumors are its a prequel to the first 2
considering Orr is destroyed and the gods show multiple who are dead, its definitely a prequel.
This may put us timeline wise into The Guild Wars the games are named after.
I will miss sylvari though, not many fantasy races I love as much as I do sylvari. Maybe some timeline nonsense in gw2 will give me sylvari.
I love tree people! It's an under served niche!
That was my first thought, but the presence of the Kodan threw me. It does make sense though.
Makes sense though. The lowland Kodan branched off the last dragon rise, no? So makes sense they are around.
I was more thrown off by the Asura, personally.
A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.
It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.
Sounds like this is taking place before the exodus of guman gods - so quite some time back and we don't have that much lore for those times afaik. I bet there are lots of interesting stories to tell.
